Description

The artisans at the Jun Chiyabari tea garden employ highly specialized techniques and are considered the most innovative organic tea producers in Nepal. Jun Chiyabari is located in Hile, a region nestled in the Himalaya in eastern Nepal, due south of Mt. Everest and with stunning views of the Kangchenjunga. High elevation growing areas produce unique teas offering complex aromatics due to the rugged, challenging environment which stresses the plants. In response, the plants produce secondary metabolites (unique aromatic compounds) that create the desirable complexity and an expression of high mountain seasonality. This style of tea is made only in spring and since 2011 our partners have captured the freshness, new life and youthfulness of the season with well-timed harvests and gentle handling, maximizing the fresh flowery and fruity character.
